Benefits Reminder

In years past, during months where you receive 3 paychecks, there has been what is often referred to as a “Benefit Holiday” … where the last check of the month does not have Benefit Deductions.  What may come as a surprise to you – is that we actually stopped this practice in 2022!  However, we still get questions about it when March pops up, as that is often the first month of the year that has 3 paychecks.  This is just a friendly reminder… that RRI West has 26 regular paychecks in a given year and all 26 will see benefits deductions.

INTERNAL PROMOTION ANNOUNCEMENT!

We want to congratulate Meighan Ruffino, our newest member of the RRI West Management Team!  Meighan was internally promoted this past January to officially take on the AGM role in St. Louis.  Meighan joined RRI West in January 2023 as a front desk GSR, and quickly impressed not only her GM, Ebony, but also RRI West leadership in her customer service skills, passion to learn and ability to always have a positive attitude.  Those traits, along with her growing hospitality skills, allowed us to move Meighan in the fall of 2023 to a Front Office Supervisor position.  From there, Meighan to hone her management abilities, assist Ebony in strengthening the front desk team.  By the end of 2023, we knew we had made the right decision in investing in Meighan and her development and officially promoted her to the AGM.  Meighan completed her training in Framingham, MA (a HUGE thank you to Holly!) who had this to say about Meighan: "she is prepared, asks great questions, and takes the lead in daily, weekly and monthly tasks".  Meighan's next goal?  Turning her own development into training and retaining the awesome St. Louis team!   CONGRATS MEIGHAN!
